Hello,
I’ve been working towards making my theme more accessible. When I tested it in WAVE, it complains about the profile pictures do no have alternative text.
Could we make it so that the alt is “” or “Profile of {{ User }}”?
Very, very low priority and I’d make a pull request but I don’t know which repository to look at.
What a noble quest you’re on! Thanks for making the web more accessible. 
I cast my vote on including an empty alt attribute. In the context of a conversation, the profile picture is more of a decoration than anything else. A person listening to a longer back-and-forth conversation might tire of hearing “profile of Sven … profile of Mandaris” again and again.
I agree, I’d make it an empty alt to make screen readers bypass the images completely. Could you send me a link to your accessibility ready theme? I’d like to use it and direct others to it.
Hey @weirdwriter!
It says this is your first posting! Thanks for being part of this discussion.
Here is my GitHub repository.
It’s a ongoing project for me.
Thanks, @mandaris yeah, I mostly just lerk on forums and never post anything while just doing a bunch of reading, but I hope you put your theme in the plugins directory soon! 
I’ve been looking for an accessibility ready theme, and none of the other themes in the plugin directory mentions accessibility at all, so really wanted to try out your theme. I hope you consider adding it to the plugin directory soon!
Just bumping this thread up a little.
